Melai-Jason wedding set in December

MANILA -- Former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemates Jason Francisco and Melai Cantiveros are tying the knot in December in the comedienne's hometown of General Santos City, the couple confirmed on Thursday.

"Nandito po kami ngayon sa General Santos City maayos naman po kami at may inaasikaso po para sa kasal," Francisco told ABS-CBNNews.com in an interview.

"Nagse-seminar po kasi kami sa Population Commission at sa Sabado at Linggo sa simbahan po para sa kasal sa December," Cantiveros added.

Cantiveros earlier admitted that she is pregnant with Francisco's child.

Francisco revealed that he went to Cantiveros' home to meet with her family and to formally ask for the comedienne's hand in marriage.

"Tapos na, namanhikan na po. Inaayos na lang po yung kasal," Francisco said.

The two will return to Manila soon to continue their showbiz commitments.

"Babalik pa kami diyan kasi may offer po pero hindi pa po pwedeng sabihin, pero may offer po na gagawin naming project ni Jason," announced Cantiveros, who is one of the hosts of the upcoming reality show "I Dare You," which will start airing on Saturday.

The couple also thanked their fans who have expressed their concerns.

"Ok naman po kami dito. Maayos naman po kami. Salamat po sa inyong lahat," Francisco said.

"Gusto ko pong magpasalamat sa lahat dahil sinuportahan nila ako, lalo na sa pagkakataong ito. Ayaw ko lang talagang i-risk 'yung (buhay) ng baby ko. I'm very happy at masaya ako at napakabait at supportive ng soon-to-be husband ko si Jason. (Sinisiguro) ko po sa inyo, maayos po kami. Maraming salamat, babalik kami diyan (sa Maynila) agad," assured Cantiveros.
